don't be a hypocrite in front of me!!

I've never beeeeeen so pissed off.... as far as I can remember. On monday, I gave a presentation on fansubbing, it works, legality etc.(for all those who dunno, i think i wrote about it a couple of months back...go check).

Now, during the Q&A, I was seriously bullied.. boo! Instead of asking me questions about fansubbing, I was bombarded with questions about how to stop people from downloading those fansub episodes. I kept on repeating that no law will be able to successfully stop people from doing so, that it all depends on the individual. But no, bloody classmates, 2 actually, insistently argued back on how it's useless, but yet proceed to give me suggestions on how to stop them. ARGH... I was so ticked off! Best part? They admitted downloading those things also. If I had a clearer head then, I would have said: IF you really want to stop people from ripping of the internet, why don'T you be the example? ARGH...WASTED.

Note to all: Fansub is considered illegal, hence on general, only unlicensed anime will be fansubbed. A licensed anime is defined as having its distribution rights bought by a foreign company, in most cases, an American company, since the US is considered to hold the biggest market. The purpose of fansubbing is to allow anyone to have access to subtittled animes currently shown or only available in Japan. Thus once some company outside of Japan buys its rights and distribute it, fansubbers usually stop fansubbing that particular anime.

Lesson of the day:
1.don't contradict yourself
2.don't be a hypocrite in front of me.
3.don't tell me what to do if you don'T do it yourself.

If you can't comply with these, then piss off.
If you didn'T get what I was on about, it's fine. Just that t's already wed but I'm still pissed. Had to release it somewhere....

what's on my head

after spending about an hour thinking on what to write concerning japanese immigration and identity, i'm really getting stuck, not to mention pissed. who would have thought that some japanese youths still believes in the pure blood thing?! come to think of it, i think somewhere else too was very much into all this pure blood shit. Must be that Draco Malfoy influence...humph!

apart from that, moving on to something less serious...

looks like the bd thingy shld be either on the 5th or 6th Aug. You guys need to let me know which date is better. We suggest potluck, and venue could either be my place, or Su's. Juni's another option too, but need to check with her. Yeah, you may crash the night. Oh yes, I need to know how many ppl can come, cos i would love to get everyone something, so either you let your presense known, or recieve no present! it's your choice....muahahahahahhahaa

birthday bash!

Yo people!! Since we all turn 21 (ohmigosh, legally adult in every single country in the world.....) this year, regardless of the month, I think we should all celebrate in together in one big bash in august, when we all come back. What do you all think? Since it's a very special occasion, we shouldn'T miss the chance to celebrate it together. the probable dates are between august 3rd-10th. Please let me know what you think, and which day is good for you asap.......... you can leave it in the comment section and let me know.

well, stil more than a month away....but... hehe.... kinda getting excited about it, now that I know that YeanYik and Lifan will be back too! Plus Su and Cindy and WeiMing and me, GREAT!!!!!!

I scared myself

Yesterday has been an eventful day. It started out as any other normal day, classes in the morning, then lunch with Mei Yen, a CCC staff, and then we went to the gym together. Other than the rain because of typhoon #4, it was as normal as any other day.

So what happened? There I was, working out happily in the gym when my stomach started to ache (period pain). So i went to the bathroom to compose myself and when I got out, took one look at the mirror, took one more step, and passed out. Thank GOd that it was in the locker room, and a lady caught me before i hit my head on the floor. Thank God too that i met another friend by accident there, if not for her painkillers, I would have gone to the hospital!

Few things that I learnt from this: God is amazing! He provided me with friends that just happened to be there, and even sent me home. Wow. The other thing is that there's only one body, one JOyce, so if I don'T start being careful, I'll be.....(touch wood)

OH yeah, FYI, i'm fine now. Don'T end up like me people!! ^_^

summer plans

I've finally managed to set the dates and stuff, yeah!! *applause applause*
